Biology

Physiology

Bellsprout have a very skinny, stem-like body. They have roots that resemble feet, which they use similarly. Bellsprout have one green leaf on each side of their body. Their yellow head is bell-shaped and has what appear to be pink lips at the end.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Despite their small size, Bellsprout are versatile. Their stem is long, thin and very flexible, making them capable of swerving rapidly to avoid many attacks they are weak to or moving with blinding speed to capture prey. They can use their roots to replenish moisture and health from the ground if they are hit. They can also channel their roots through the ground to trip foes. They can also use their feet as insulator.

Behavior

Bellsprout are adept at using vines to capture their prey of small insects. With blinding speed, they ensnare prey with their vines and devour it. If Bellsprout notices anything that moves, they will immediately fling their vine at the object.

Habitat

Bellsprout prefer hot and humid places, living in forests as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are common in Kanto and Johto, but can be found in Sinnoh as well.

Bellsprout appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in Crown City. A Bellsprout worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding Zorua at the park to attack him, angry at Zorua for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight broke out, Bellsprout, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by Celebi.

A sextet of Bellsprout is seen in Volume 8 during Gold's visit to Sprout Tower. Gold is attacked by the monks and their Bellsprout in an attempt to convince him to join their group. The excellent teamwork of the Bellsprout manages to make short work of Gold's Aipom, only to lose to Gold's Cyndaquil when it incinerates them from below.
